Answer / Solution

Convert The Joint Commission List of "Do Not Use" Abbreviations option for First Draft output

Summary

The InfraWare 360 platform provides Administrators with an additional option to convert dictated The Joint Commission list of "Do Not Use" abbreviations in the First Draft output.  For more details on The Joint Commission list of "Do Not Use" abbreviations, see this link - www.jointcommission.org/assets/1/18/Do_Not_Use_List.pdf

Overview

In the InfraWare Management Console (IMC), Admins can customize the format in the First Draft ⇒ Tuning ⇒ Fast Start SettingsFirst Draft seeks to pull as much time as possible out of the editing experience before the draft even reaches the Transcriptionist.  One of the ways it adds value is to allow Administrators to specify whether Joint Commission Dangerous Abbreviations are converted or left as dictated in the draft output.  By default, if there is nothing specified in this option will leave abbreviations as dictated.  When the Convert Dangerous Abbreviations option is checked, if the dictator says "QD" the First Draft output will be "daily".  If this option is not checked the output will be as dictated.
